Episode 133: Ridley Scott Watch Series #25: ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD (2017)

"You could have all the money in the world, and you are still a no-good, miserable son of a bitch, and don't you forget it." After a couple of months away from Sir Ridley, we're back on the watch series to discuss his OTHER 2017 picture, ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. Most folks probably remember the film as a failed piece of Oscar bait, and the infamous decision to re-cast Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer and re-shoot his scenes with only a few weeks to spare. But it turns out this 'based on a true story' drama is actually pretty interesting! Simon and John discuss the film's story, it's troubled production, and the real-life history behind the Getty family. Before that, we go through some news of the week and some recent watches. Next week, we'll stay on the watch series and discuss THE LAST DUEL.
